Chris Frame - Cruise History

The author of The Evolution of the Passenger Ship book

Have you wondered what the difference is between an ocean liner and a cruise ship? Are you amazed at the size of the biggest cruise ships? Perhaps you are keen to know what sailing on the first ever cruise ship was like? From the introduction of steam power over 180 years ago, passenger shipping has changed dramatically. As new technologies were developed ships and shipping lines evolved, delivering ships capable of greater speed and safety, new luxuries and improved scale and size. The Evolution of the Passenger Ship explores the way ships were shaped over time, and how they in turn helped to shape the world around them. AUTHORS: Chris Frame and Rachelle Cross share a passion for passenger ships and cruising, having written over a dozen books and countless articles on historic and modern-day passenger ships. Chris has appeared as a maritime history expert on the BBC, Channel 5, Sky News, ABC News and LBC 97.3. They have written several books for The History Press, including 180 Years of Cunard, Oriana: A Photographic Journey and A Photographic History of the Orient Line.

The 'B-Side' of history - mainly essays - to describe the little corner historical occurrences, less noticed, but just as important as mainstream history.

'Amateur Entertainment in Western Australia, 1875-1895’ (attached) subtitled 'Sex and Drugs & Gilbert & Sullivan'.

I also attach a list of published titles, as I explore the human condition, as much as it is now, as it was then.
